As a child, Dr. Michael Wolff did jiu-jitsu. In fact, reflecting on his youth, Dr. Wolff says his jiu-jitsu coach was comparable to Mr. Miyagi. It was his coach that Dr. Wolff credits his devotion to his medical career helping people with debilitating back pain return to life without surgery- pain that affects people both physically and mentally.
Introduce yourself.
I’m Dr. Michael Wolff, owner of Southwest Spine & Sport. I've been injecting patients' spines over 25 years. I value providing quality individualized care for my patients the same way I'd treat my own family. 80% of people experience back pain; so far, most of my patients have seen significant improvement thanks to the Discseel® Procedure.
What is the Discseel® Procedure?
When people think of back pain, they often consider two options: steroid epidurals or surgery. The Discseel® Procedure is a lesser known solution; few doctors are trained to do it. The non-surgical out-patient procedure consists of injecting your damaged disc(s) with the biologic Fibrin, repairing the tears in your leaky spinal discs and preventing further inflammation of nerves that contribute to pain. The minimally invasive procedure is under 90 minutes. Healing can take a few weeks and most patients feel results within a few months.
What are the benefits?
Lifestyle! Undergoing effective treatment undoubtedly enhances your physical and emotional wellbeing. Technically, Discseel is the only treatment to permanently “heal and seal” repairing torn discs, replacing damaged cells with new cells for faster healing, and easing back/neck pain.
Am I a candidate?
The ideal candidate is anyone with low back pain that limits their daily life activities. It's not for everyone, and there's a thorough consultation process. Yes, there’s a role for surgery, but anyone in their right mind would consider a non-surgical route before going under.
Tips for preventing back pain?
Proper posture and body mechanics are imperative. When sitting, keep your shoulders back and down, chin back, belly in, and lower back supported. Pick things up by keeping your back straight instead of leaning forward. Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees. swspineandsports.com
